Timeshift: Mods, Rockers and Bank Holiday Mayhem

SYNOPSIS

Documentary recalling events that occurred in 1964, when large groups of young people who identified with two disparate subcultures descended upon seaside resorts on motorbikes and scooters - sparking violent confrontations. The programme considers how their repeated clashes created widespread moral panic about the state of British youth, the notion of which was undergoing a vast transformation due to greater prosperity and freedom.
